Sometimes we identify things unrelate to the contravention that make the PCN void.

Assuming you own the car and your V5C is up-to-date, they have 28 days to send out a PCN from date of contravention under the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003, (see top of your PCN somewhere). It looks like they are a day over.

Hi All,

Date of contravention 10.06.26
Date of PCN 09.07.26

Are Lambeth out of time in issuing the PCN?

Thanks
